“The prayer of the baptised is a growing and moving into the prayer of Jesus himself and therefore it is a prayer that may be difficult and mysterious. It will not always be cheerful and clear, it may not always feel as though it’s going to be answered. Christians do not pray to get what they ask for in any simple sense – you may have noticed that this can’t be taken for granted! Rather, Christians pray because they have to, because the Spirit is surging up inside them.”

Rowan Williams, Being Christian, p.8f
